Cross to 25, and what does it mean? One yard more than we would have gotten, but one yard where you hold your breath. Live from the Rich Eisen Show studio in Los Angeles. Let's talk about how things are different with your new head coach, Jackson Smith and J-Bo.

I mean, things are, things are totally different, you know. Earlier on the show, NFL Network reporter, Steve Weiss. Still to come, host and comedian, Chris Redd. Steelers Radio Network host, Jerry Dulak. And now, it's Rich Eisen. Our number two of the Rich Eisen Show is on the air.

I'm sitting here in my hotel room in Canton, Ohio. Tonight, I'll be hosting the Jacket Dinner in downtown Canton, Ohio for yet another induction weekend of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. We just chatted with Steve White, who's hanging out with all of the returning Hall of Famers in advance of tonight's Jacket Dinner. And tomorrow's ceremony for yet more Immortals to go into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

The comedian, Chris Redd in studio, in the Los Angeles studio recorded a couple days ago. That's coming up shortly. He's a funny guy. Don't miss the conversation, especially since we're going to have him play the win-loss game as a particular character that he played on Saturday Night Live that you might see every single day on First Take on ESPN. Just as a for instance, we might have him play the Cowboys win-loss game as Stephen A. Smith.

Yeah, I wouldn't go anywhere if I were you. So that's coming up here on this program. It's a What's More Likely Friday. We'll get to that in a second. Jerry Dulak, who covers the Pittsburgh Steelers for the Pittsburgh Post Gazette, will be joining us on this program in hour number three to tell us what's going on with Russell Wilson and Justin Fields. Could Justin Fields actually take the starting gig from Russell Wilson in advance of the season opener against the Atlanta Falcons? That is going to be a question we posed to Jerry when he joins us in hour number three of this program.

844-204, Rich is the number. I will still take your phone calls even though I'm not in studio. Chris Brockman and Mike Del Tufo are in their spots.

And TJ Jefferson in your spot as well. And you know, it's kind of amazing with this Pro Football Hall of Fame. Remember how when Michigan won the national championship, I said sports is kind of like the marking of time, right?

Like how you you take a look at what sport teams mean to you when you first started following them. And then how many years you've been waiting for the moment. And this ceremony is a is a marking of time for so many of these men who have been waiting a while, like Randy Gradishar or Steve McMichael or those who finally get in after a years long journey to professional football.

And they make it in maybe relatively quickly. And then it can make you feel, you know, kind of old yourself. And the one that makes me feel the oldest. And again, I know Randy Gradishar has been waiting a while and McMichael, but the one I don't know why makes me feel the oldest going in is Devin Hester, especially when you look at the fact that Devin Hester opening up the Super Bowl. Great for a touchdown for the Chicago Bears in Super Bowl XLI. It's Super Bowl 41. Super Bowl 59 is this year, guys.

I cannot believe it's crazy. Super Bowl 51 in South Florida. And I will never forget that moment. I was in an end zone seat. It was the end zone that the that the Giants, pardon me, the the Colts were kicking into.

And Devin Hester's back was to me. And these moments. In sports, the best moments you could say in sports are the moments that you want to see, but think can never really happen because the opponent knows how good this athlete is. And, you know, the opponent would never let this guy beat them at what makes him best or her best. Right. But on the stage in which this confrontation is taking place. Wouldn't it be amazing if he or she did it right? And the odds of it happening, though. At the moment where it's most expected.

Are too long for it to actually occur. And Devin Hester returning the opening kickoff of Super Bowl 41 was exactly that. I can't believe the Colts kicked it to him. I can't believe he actually returned it for a touchdown, despite the fact that he's in the Hall of Fame because he had such an incredible pension and knack for doing it. I'll never forget it as he was running away from where I was sitting.

And it could I could see this sort of sea of Colts open up. And I'll never forget it. And the fact is that it's now 18 Super Bowls later, including his. He's going into the Hall of Fame. That one is just that one's kind of mind blowing to me.

Yeah. And I look up now and I could see my gray beard and the lack of hair. It's a mark in a time when he goes in in the Hall of Fame, guys. Richard, you can almost take Jim Lampley's George Foreman quote when he exclaimed, it happened twice and you can lay that over Hester. It happened. They kicked it to him.

He took it home. It happened like it. Right. And that's another but that's another moment. Right. Like like there's no way George Foreman is going to beat Michael Moore. Right. Like this is not going to happen.

Boy, it would be amazing. Jack winning the Masters. Right.

At age 46. Even Tiger winning Tiger five years ago. Yeah. Right. Those moments. Reggie Jackson in his third home run of the game in 19.

Right. Seventy sevens World Series. You know, Gibson homering off of. Dennis Eckersley, like there's no way he's playing, there's no way he can do this right. There's no way he's going to walk it off in Game one in front of his home fans against the most dominant reliever we've seen in years. And the odds are so small.

But man, imagine if he did that. Right. Oh, it's happening. Yeah. That's Devin Hester's moment is returning to the when the 16 finally beat the one. Yeah.

You know, took forever, but it happened. And on a much lesser scale in terms of this, the the, you know, stage a Thursday night when Devin Hester played for the Falcons on a Thursday night. Dion was there and Dion was the old Georgia Dome, which is the house that Prime built.

Right. Dion's banner was up there. I guess they had just retired his number. And Hester, I think, broke his all time return record for punts that night. And he did it in front of Dion holding it up. And I was with Dion and he went, that was that was amazing. Like, he's not going to do it just, you know, in Dion's house, you know, with Dion's banner up there. He couldn't do it like he did again. Unbelievable.

Yeah, it's a lot like it's all like for us, it's like Del Tufo being here on Friday. You know, what's funny about that is I saw Hester do that too rich and it was cool as hell. And I was on the field and he was running at me. And that was amazing.

That was so cool to see that. And you guys are right. But obviously, yes, me on a Friday. You are correct. You are the Devin Hester of the Rich Eisen Show. I'll take that any day. That's high praise. Hold it up. Hold it up. Hold it up. All right. It's a what's more likely Friday. I'm in Canton.

The guys are in El Segundo. You are where you are. I'm here where I am. It's what's more likely. Hit it. What's more likely?

Never say never, but never. Hey, what's up, everybody? What's going on, brother? I'm great. You're great. I'm great.

You look great. I'm trying to sit up in my chair so you could see that it's the Pro Football Hall of Fame. I'm wearing a Drake May shirt today. Oh, what does it say?

Made for New England. Oh, really? I love it. He's it. Do you have to bounce back practices today?

Everyone can calm down. Do you have to go to the boulevard? Do you have the do you have the the ghosts of Matt Jones? No, I need to get that one.

I need to get that one made. These two teams played last night. And I know expectations are a little bit different for each. But is it more likely the Texans win the AFC South or the Bears make the playoffs? Oh, I'll say it's more likely the Texans win the AFC South. Oh, yeah. I thought you'd go stronger than this.

I thought you'd say, well, it's more. Yeah. The Texans, you know, eliminate the Chiefs.

Make the Super Bowl or something? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Well, it's more likely that because. All right. Let's change it. Let's change it.

Well, because I think it's an easy it's an easy it's an easy one to say. Yeah. I don't know how talented the Bears roster looks, but that's still a rookie quarterback in the National Football League.

All right. You know, and the Bears are playing a very tough division. And I think the Texans are fully equipped to repeat as champions in their division. That's for sure. But the whole idea is the Texans. They ready to actually like if you look at the AFC and peg the teams that are most likely to use the phrase of this segment to be the ones to dethrone the Chiefs in the AFC.

They're the ones that that you throw there. Right. That's that. They're the ones that you put in that pit with Baltimore, even though the Chiefs beat them last year or whoever wins the AFC East.

You could throw another team from the AFC North in there if you want. OK. So there's that. But how do we plus up the Bears? All right. Well, that's Omaha, Omaha, Omaha. All right.

More likely Texans make the Super Bowl or the Bears win a playoff game. That's now you have upgraded, sir. Now you have upgraded to a flatbed seat. Delta one. Yeah.

I'll go bears, but win a playoff. You don't love Stroud that much. No, it's not.

That's nothing to do with Stroud. I've walked up to the water's edge of Chief's Kingdom and I have not dipping a toe in the pool that makes them want to drown me. How does that sound? Use the analogy all the way. So I'll do that. Bears make a divisional round game just like the Texans did last year.

Then rather than the Texans make it two rungs further than last year. Oh, my God. What else? Get ready. Hard knocks on Tuesday.

All right. A couple of teams with some QB scares yesterday. West Coast team with a QB scare. You're suddenly more worried about Chargers or Seahawks. I'll go Chargers. I'll go Chargers in the million. Absolutely.

I'll go Chargers. Yeah, man. And I don't mean, you know, I know what I said in hour one was, you know, Jim didn't leave Michigan to coach East and stick. And I know that that sounds disrespectful, like the disrespect is real. But Sam Howells got a heck of a lot more time as a starting quarterback than East and stick. And, you know, Smith apparently is not missing any time. And plantar fascia sounds like he was already kind of older. You know, the plantar fascia is not like a broken bone where it's healed and off we go. Right. You know, it's this is I don't know, man.

The foot is a fickle beast. I literally said those words into a microphone, so I'll say I'm more worried about the Chargers. OK, that's more likely worried. All right. All right.

All right. Let's talk a little wide receivers here, guys. Why do you like to have a big breakout season? Jamison Williams or George Pickett? Nice one.

Oh, man. I'll go Jamison Williams. I'll go Jamison Williams. I, I, I, I believe in the hype here. Have you noticed how many? Lions predictions of Super Bowl that we've heard in the last 72 hours.

Just about everybody, it seems like likes them to. Come out of here. It might be they might be calling up people to the to the gate to see if they'll sell their seats on the bandwagon for a future bandwagon and some extra models or something. You know, I mean, it's all it's oversold right now. Oversold the bandwagon's over.

I don't know, man. I just think the Lions offense and quarterback situation is more settled than than than Pittsburgh's. That alone. And the fact that, you know, I yeah, that that alone.

And then the fact that Jamison Williams was so hyped coming in and rightfully so, but had a knee injury. That's that's that's the issue. Yeah. And maybe he's now fully past all of that. So I'll say it's more likely to. Yeah, I'll go I'll go Jamison. OK, I still think George might still might have a. Well, I'm not saying that George is going to be. Listen, you're saying more likely to have a breakout season. No, I'm talking like huge.

That doesn't mean that George Pickens. Yeah. That's going to suddenly be disappointing for Pittsburgh. Like they blew it. I'm just saying I like both.

I like both guys. OK. All right. We got our first look at the new kickoff last night. Just kind of baby steps. Wondering what you guys thought. But what's more likely that we're saying by midseason the kickoff rule needs to go back? Or we're saying what took so long?

This is awesome. Oh, it's what's it please go back, go back to what you miss. You miss all those touchbacks.

You miss all those moments where you could take an extra 30 seconds to go have a piss break. You know, I mean, I don't know. I didn't blow my socks off last night. That's all I'm saying.

Well, you're not. Well, no one's playing there. First of all, nobody is showing their hand right now. That's number one. Number two.

What is the hand? Oh, well, you don't think there's going to be all sorts of plays and tricks and gadgets? I don't know. I don't know. Oh, yeah. I'm wondering if teams don't just like say, screw this and just start taking the touchbacks.

That's one of the political phrases is one of the political phrases of the day. We're not going back. No way. This is not happening. We're not going.

Oh, man, I miss those days where somebody would just boom one, you know, into the front row. You know, you know what? Here's what Cooper will miss. Cooper.

Taylor likes it, too, is when somebody kicks it off and the ball goes through the uprights. They think that you should get points for that point. You get one.

You get one point for that. Honestly, because you get something for the effort. You know, take skill for the effort. It takes.

Yeah, it takes accuracy and it takes a long, strong leg. But yeah, no, we're not going back, man. No one's showing their hand. You won't see anything in the preseason. OK, I agree with you on that. All right. You guys hold on. I wasn't blown away. The next Devin Hester will not be shown during the preseason.

No, sir. And by the way, a lot of the guys that are out there right now are not going to be the ones who are going to be on the special teams unit. I mean, he's just seriously shout out Joe Buck for learning all these guys names who won't have a job in a couple of weeks.

That was awesome. Dude, I have never called a I've never called a preseason game, but I have called an NFL Europe game back in the day. Yeah, you got to learn everybody. Absolutely random names, everybody.

So, yes, kudos to them. All right. Last one, rookie quarterback. We talked a lot about both these guys this week.

Rookie quarterback who will see action first in twenty twenty four, Michael Pennix or my man Drake May. More likely. So if I say Pennix, that means Cousins got hurt. Probably. And I just that's it.

It's not they're not benching Kirk Cousins due to ineffectiveness. What if there's a Pennix package, a Pennix package? I like that.

By the way, there was a Trey Lance package. First of all, I mean, I don't know if we'll see that. I will say Drake May is what I will say. Or we'll see Pennix out there mopping up because the Falcons have destroyed somebody. That seems unlikely. I don't know, because I think you can use your third quarterback on game day now, but only in case of a certain emergency.

I need you to look up those rules and be a little bit better versed on that. I'm going to go with Drake May. I will go with Drake May.

And we already have our first surprise upset of the day of the Rich Eisen show. The fact that you said Pennix package and T.J. Jefferson did not make a that's what she said joke. I'm not I mean that I cannot I just are you all right. C.J., should we check your temperature? I think you've beaten him down.

Yeah, I mean, look at this submission. Nobody don't blame me. My heart rate don't blame me. Trust me, I heard it and the disappointment. It looked like this. What's more likely? That's another what's more likely right there. You know, OK. Oh, my God. You're giving me all right. I'll get back in the game, buddy. Oh, yes. Thank you. OK. By the way, Mike Hoskins, all the way from across the country, just got in my head saying that there's a toilet tour later on from.

Oh, yeah, I mean, no, but right. I mean, there is because you you went to the that's going to be later on in this hour. As a matter of fact, I went to the latest. You got a tour of the Intuit Dome, right?

My buddy Matt Riley, he and I have been going to Clipper Games together since 2000 and he got invited. So, of course, he invited me and we took we took a little trip around our new home for the foreseeable future. And that place is OK. So that's coming up. Very good.

It was a little bit lower, like a free oil now. That's nice. Resurrected rides just like that.

So why what what led you to want to do this show? Well, I mean, I love cars. I'm a car guy in a way that I can't fix it, but I like to look at them and be like, I like that. Yes.

And I love to my right. I thought it was fun. You know what I mean? So I was like, yeah, I would love to do a show like that. As long as we know the things that we fix about the cars are actually fundamentally usable. So after the show, there's no lawsuits because I got the money for it. So again, the car that we just saw was a 1990 Ford sort of Mustang, a Mustang. It was super dope.

I mean, it was dope as it was. She she kept it in great condition. It was in the it was in this garage and it was under a tarp. And you could tell that she's like, don't touch that.

That's from that's from my grandson. But the way we had it, what we turned it into was even doper than that. Because again, there were the there's the as you called it, a kangaroo pouch on the driver's side. There were no cupholders and no cupholders just balance. And and the and the break, the emergency break that you in the middle of the car that you pull up. Right.

You got to pull up real, real hard. Yeah. You know what I mean? And I'm like, man, you can't have a kid driving that. They can't multitask as it is. It's definitely no place to plug in your phone in that car. Now, I have a phone, to be very honest with you, you know, but now now I think there's a lot of places you can plug a phone in.

And I hope Carter is somewhere just just just filling up his car with as many ladies to study with as possible. And so that's what you do is you take it. You take care mostly of the interiors or there's some other cars that you do the exterior. We we fix everything that needs fixing. So we we handle the engine. We had we had like the brakes.

We had on the outside and inside all of it. Just what we show on the show is the fun stuff. We don't show you the boring things like the engine, but the engines are. There are some people who are very diehard pimp.

My ride fans are like, is it did you work on the engine? Oh, yeah. Yeah. I mean, not me.

Yes. A man worked on it. I didn't work on anything. I've gotten so many submissions from people wanting me to fix their cars. And I just keep watching the show. Get us a season two and somebody will fix your car. Well, because me.

Yeah, I can't do it. Well, that's the whole thing is that if they if you show up, you know that someone will know that their car is about to get fixed. If I show up, somebody in my camp is going to hook you up. That's right. You've got people. Yeah.

Just seeing that car reminded me of the car I passed my driver's test in. Really? Yeah.

In the 80s, because I'm I'm a little older. That's what's up. What was the hair like?

The hair? Yeah. Oh, gosh. It's just like if you watch Pretty in Pink. You know what I mean? Like that sort of that sort of ducky sort of, you know, Flock of Seagulls type thing. Yeah.

That's really aging myself with every single pop culture out of my mouth right now. That's a lot of animals to reference. We're talking about. I I had a Pontiac sedan, like an LE is what I think it was called. And it had that it had that emergency brake in the middle. It had a big one, the big draping were exactly the draping one.

I think it had an eight track sort of tape deck in that thing. Oh, yeah. Yeah. You was that ride could be resurrected somewhere.

Yeah, man. Where is it now? Is it? I have no idea. Is it dead?

It is definitely way gone. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's awesome.

Chris, would you say the stuff in this is more realistic than the original? Because I worked on Pimp My Ride back in the day. Yeah. And they put stuff like a, you know, a CAT scan machine went into one car and like a chocolate fondue sundae. Yeah.

Yeah. I remember the hot tub stuff like that in these cars. That was throwing tailpipe was in a car like that was like that was a part of my contract.

I didn't want to put nothing too ridiculous. That was like I don't want to put like fish tanks in people's cars. That's bad for the fish community. And it's bad.

Terraria. That's crazy. It's bad for the human community. It's bad for every community, to be very honest with you. No, but I wanted I wanted them to be more reasonable. And I did put a pizza shooter on somebody's van because they wanted a van that looked like the Ninja Turtle van. But you could take that on. It's very removable and it is useless.

And we do know that going in. But as far as everything else, it was we wanted to make sure that the cars would be helpful in everybody's daily life. That was like a big part of the show is just helping people who can help themselves in that way. Did you personally install the fondue machine? Now, I worked I worked post-production on it, so I was producing a dip in the chocolate. I really didn't have anything to do with the post. That's the post production. Again, check out Resurrected Rides on Netflix available on Roku right now, starring this man, Chris Redd. You also got your comedy special.

Why am I like this on Max right now? Yeah. What is that? Does that question have an answer to it? No, I'm still searching, but it's a dive into like kind of my psyche. I was later in life when I was kind of in and I went to therapy. And so I kind of found out that I have like anxiety and depression and ADHD. And the the whole the whole special is very ADHD and how I bounce around it. But it's it's a look into my mind a little bit and kind of where I where I've come from. And I'm super proud of it. How did you get into comedy? I failed at everything else. Good answer.

That is very much it. I comedy has always been something that I look to to help me be funnier in my everyday life. I would like study different albums and just to be fun because I had the social anxiety in school. So whose albums you study? Oh, man.

Richard Pryor, Carlin. So old school. Yeah. My dad was really into like into comedy albums. So he had a bunch of them laying around the house. Like on vinyl, like the real thing.

No, I don't. He might have a couple on vinyl, but I got the CDs, you know. So I had the CDs and I got it. I would listen to them today. Skipped too much.

Skipped. Yeah. But I also read, you know, I also read like if you go to sleep listening to something, then you wake up and kind of being in your psyche. So I was like, if I listen to these comedy albums, I'll be funnier by morning. And and so like that was like I always looked at comedy as a way to break the tension socially. And then when I would when rap wasn't working now and I was kind of looking at myself like, what other thing am I interested in doing? Because school wasn't really like that.

That path wasn't really interesting to me. I was like, well, I'm kind of funny. Maybe I should dive in that kind of see, like if there's any legs to a future in that. And so I went to a second city and I started an improv class and then I started stand up shortly after that.

And and the rest is history. So how did Saturday Night Live give you a call or how did you wind up on their radar screen? I had I had done a few projects. I had worked with like Andy Samberg. I worked with Tina Fey on this project with Fortune Feimster. The show didn't get picked up, but I was trying to make my name around some folks who had been on the show. So I guess they had floated my name.

And then when I was on tour, I was just randomly on tour in between gigs in L.A. And I got a call that they wanted me to come audition. And and the time I got the call, the first call, I was with Jay Ferrell in Louisiana doing a show with him. I was opening up for him. He had nothing to do with it, but absolutely nothing to do with it. But it was like a cool thing to be like, yo, let's not just call it.

It's weird telling somebody they owe a job, just call it. But he was super cool about it. And then I went and did it.

Didn't get it that year. But then I went and got it the second. So then you're auditioning a second time is what got you the green light. I think it was because I acted like I didn't care because I was mad I didn't get it the first time. OK. And so I was like, life goes on.

You know what I mean? And I was like, I'm going to do this, but I don't even need it. And then they called me like, you want him?

Like, yes. What was on your audition that you think what was it? You know, they at the time, I wasn't really big on doing impressions. Like I just I like doing original characters. So I had some characters that were already in my stand up act that I was doing. But then, like, you know, I threw in some impressions. So it was like the second time I think I did a very meta impression of Obama doing an impression of Obama. It was some very meta. Like, I don't think that's what got me the job.

I think everything else I did there did. But I did I did Obama and I did some crackhead that I knew. And I don't think that's ever been said in the same sentence.

I think they said that in my dish. I mean, I was just talking about that at the time. I was like, I'm gonna do everything that I'm doing on the road.

I'm gonna just do a truncated version of that. And so, yeah, it was just and then some like some other characters that I was I was doing at the time. I just put doing that audition who hosted the first show you were on as a cast member, just talked about this. It was Ryan Gosling and Jay-Z was musical guest Jay. Wow.

Yes. That blew my mind, bro. Beyonce was there. It was crazy. I was like, I love you, Beyonce.

Not in that way, Jay. And they laughed and I was like, they got it. And they were sitting with Swizz Beatz and Alicia at the after party. It was it was it was like the best way to just kick off the SNL career.

It was like very, very, very cool. Yeah, Ryan Gosling just got nominated for his host, his most recent hosting version on SNL. Ryan's dope, man. He's he's he's so good at that job and he just understands what it is. He goes there and knows he has to commit to things.

Yeah. Like, you know, submit to the process and kind of just know what kind of fun you're trying to have. What's your favorite skit that you pitched or wrote or had something to do with that made it on the air? And you're one of the favorite one of the oh, one of my favorite things I had ever pitched was Jamison Bond. It was James Bond who can't hold his liquor. It never got to it. It got it got to we did a live version of it. We should have been taped, but we I was new and I didn't know how to navigate it. But we did a live version of it didn't work because it was like an action scene.

It's hard to do like a live action scene. But it was really fun. And I was like, maybe one day I'll do a Jamison Bond somewhere. But it was it was it was super cool to just act drunk as as as as a spy, as a spy. You know what I mean? Just telling on yourself because she because, you know, because you're faded. You're blowing your own cover.

That's the spy. You know, man, just are you drunk, Jamison? You're drunk. You know, it was very fun. And the one that got on that I always would like and I'm surprised got on was that's the game. It was a thing I wrote with with Streeter and Mikey Day. Yeah.

And it was about a drug dealer that's trying to take over the drug game from his from his O.G. But he doesn't understand how to do it. So he's like, it's a takeover. But like, so if if you were trying to pick up product, where would you pick it up from?

You know, so it's like very clear he has no idea what to do outside of take the game. Yes. And I was surprised that they put something like that on TV. But they did. And it was awesome. It was it was very funny.

And I'm really proud of it. So you were on Chris Fred here on the Rich Eisen Show. You were there, Barkley hosted while you were there.

Did that happen while you were there? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Charles, Charles, Charles hosted. I love Charles, man.

He's the best. I did a commercial with him once for a fan duel. And they were like and they were like you. And I was I was supposed to play like a little voice on his shoulder. Everybody thought I was doing an impression of him and it wasn't a good one.

So they got so mad that the people they were like, he doesn't sound like him. And it was just a very fun experience. I don't know why I just shared that story. I'm trying to pick up where you're going with all of the way through. I'm like, what are you talking, Chris? You know what?

This is so comfortable. I just like let me just tell stuff. I like when you tell stuff. That's right.

So every useless story. J.J., what I think hosted while you were there. Yes, I love J.J. I love J.J. Watch. He's like athletes are usually the best hosts.

Why do you say that? They always performing live all the time. Yeah.

And they're always game for anything usually. And it was just so fun. We that was one of my favorite sketches was with J.J. Watch. What was that?

It was it was one where I played this kid on the team who is kind of Rudy, where I played this kid on the team was like, not really good, too small to play. And everybody's like, give him a chance. Give him a chance. And J.J. is like, no, he sucks.

I mean, I did suck, you know, but it was just like it's supposed to be like this, like an inspirational scene like every football movie you've ever seen in your life. But it's like a guy who actually shouldn't be playing. So if it's Rudy. Right. Yeah.

In real life. And he just they're like, we're not putting you on the field. We're not putting. No, this is the championship.

Are you stupid? And J.J. killed it. And he was so he was so good. Sounds like a modern version of the famous Peyton Manning send up of the United Way commercial, where he would throw the footballs directly at the kids heads and just complain when they didn't catch and whatever. That was classic. That was great. That was an absolute cow.

You should always throw football at kids heads. Chris right here on the on the Rich Eisen show again, resurrected rides streaming now exclusively on Netflix. Why am I like this is on Max right now. You've got upcoming show dates tomorrow in Kansas City, San Diego, California, after that. And in London, you're going to London, you're playing going to London. Yeah.

And doing St. Louis on Thursday. OK. Fantastic. All right. But going to London, man, I go to London usually about every year and I love performing over there. Fantastic. You've got five dates there in London.

I am Chris read dot com to to get tickets before I let you go. If you wouldn't mind indulging us here, because one of one of my favorite sketch that you did on SNL was the send up of first take. Oh, yeah, man.

That was my that was one of my favorite live joints for sure. Because you were Steven A. Yeah, man. And you've met Steven A before. I met Steven a bunch of times.

OK. I love seeing I've been on shows. We did Family Feud the same day, too.

Was that right? We he was on with Tamara Hall. I was on the Fortune Feimster, but we we had crossed paths. But I love I love Steve. Had you already done Steve?

Yeah, I had done him a bunch. I was on Stephen Show doing Stephen A with Stephen A. So that I'm Stephen.

No, I'm Stephen. You know, it was really, really fun. So I'd like you, if you don't mind, we play the win loss game with a bunch of fans here who are rooting for their teams. I'd love to see if you wouldn't mind doing the Dallas Cowboys win loss game as Stephen A. Smith.

How you think he would do it. Hey, here we go. Music here. Here is Chris Redd.

Again, check out Resurrected Rides available for streaming now exclusively on Netflix through the Roku portal. But that's Chris Redd. Stephen A. Smith is here right now to play the win loss game for the Dallas Cowboys. All right, Stephen, what happens when the Cowboys open up the season in Cleveland in week one? Here's the thing about it, Rich.

The second that they open, they close. That's what Cowboys do. All right. Now, I know they have fans, but I don't know why. I don't know why.

The only cowboy I like is on a horse. You understand? You get it?

What's the game? So is that a loss? It's a loss all day. It's a loss.

Matter of fact, I'm at a loss for worse. Positive ones to say about the Cowboys. So what happens when they play the Saints next at home? They pray, I think.

They pray to the Lord and Savior to save them. I think they lose. Then they're home for the Ravens.

Oh, I love poetry. But as far as playing the Ravens, they'll lose, Rich. You understand? Here's the last time a cowboy won. Can't think of it. Next up, they're at the Giants, 0-3.

Wow. This is a tough, tough start to the season. It's a very tough start, you know, 0-3. No one wants to go 0-3. No one will steps outside and says, hey, I want to lose, except the Cowboys. So they're 0-4 at the Steelers, Stephen A?

Is that what you're saying? I think they're going to be 0-10 with the Steelers, if you want to be honest with your best dad ever. So that's 0-5. Then we'll give them a loss home for the Lions. Then off the bye, their loss at San Francisco, then a loss at the Falcons, 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8. Then they lose to the Eagles and then the Texans. So they're 0-10 now at the commanders.

What happens then? You know, they'll win on a bye week. That's what they'll do. So are you saying this is an 0-17 season for the Dallas Cowboys? I'll give them one, but I'm not going to tell you which week.

I've got to figure that out on my own? Yeah, just like they do. They show up like win-win-win happened for us. Hey, ask Chris Redd about another useless Charles Barkley. Bet you would love to hear that.

I would love to hear that more than I would love to see a cowboy play anything. So Stephen A. Smith says the Dallas Cowboys go 0-17 this year. He gave us a win. Oh, pardon me. 1-16. 1-16. 1-16. Okay, 2-16. 2-16. Win the bye week.

Do they play the Browns? That's a win. Ladies and gentlemen, Stephen A. Smith playing the win-loss game. That was very funny. Chris Redd.

Big 10 country is I have been saying for years, but now you guys in our El Segundo studio are also in Big 10 country. As the Big 10 is now expanded the map to the point where a conference that had a team called Northwestern, even though it's in the northeast most part of Illinois. There's now actually two teams in the actual northwest of the country that are part of the Big 10. And their annual video that were commercial that they show of all their member schools has a map of the United States where they pop up with their schools and their logos in the Midwest that work east. So you're telling me they've now remade that video, Chris?

Yeah, so they've redone the video. They just hit the West Coast. I don't know if you can see it now. We're in the middle of the country. Well, this is what it used to be. So there's.

Yeah, you missed the front end where it's the West Coast. Let's see that one more time. If you don't mind me rolling it again.

Music and everything on it, too. OK, let me just see it one more time. If you wouldn't mind racking that back. You know, because my zoom is now up here and there it is. Yeah, Oregon, right. Yeah.

So they started the northwest part of the country. Then it flips down to UCLA and USC. Yeah, right.

On the way back now. And now we're in the traditional big 10. Here we go. Yeah. All right. There's Illinois, Purdue. All right. Indiana.

OK, there's the national champions. OK. It is out to. Yeah, that's the East Coast now.

Yeah. See the water right there. Rutgers is not really on the water, nor is USC, by the way.

Right now. They kind of put you to be right on the beach. You know, I mean, the water adjacent. Yeah, the water is water adjacent.

I love that term for apartment. All right. So basically, big 10 country.

The whole country is almost in Canada. Very good. It's back on the Rich Eisen Show radio. One more the the entire family with the with the Roku channel, everything else.

TJ Jefferson. Yes, sir. You left the house last night, huh? Come on, baby.

I had to. Well, it's kind of funny, like you don't get videos, you know, when you use Wi-Fi on the plane. Sometimes it takes a while for the video to come in. And I saw the comments in our text chain to the video that you sent before the video actually came in. OK. And the video is of a bathroom. And then I understood where where you are, where you were at the Intuit Dome last night. Is that where you were the new home of the Clippers? New home of the Clippers had a little open house there. A couple hundred people just taking a little tour through the building. And let me tell you, man, this this thing is next level.

This is Andre 3000 4000. I mean, oh, so they have an Oculus, too, just like next door. It's cashless facial recognition. For those of you who are like, I don't want to be on. Look, they already have all our information.

It's already up there. Don't worry about it. You download the net. You walk in to a, you know, get some snacks.

Just grab your stuff like you do at the airport. Now you come out. It's facial recognition everywhere. Easy to get in and out.

The Larry O.B., that's the picture from the wall, which, you know, will be just, you know, strictly Clippers fans. And it is. Yeah, you have to you have to wear certain gear in order to sit there. It is steep.

Like I'm afraid some people are going to have a couple too many rich and take a tumble really down there. Yeah. And one section they have like, you know, bars, metal bars in front of the seats. That way, in case you lean over too far, you won't come over. But yeah.

And so I had T.J., maybe maybe they need to be load managed like their star player. And look at that seat. That's cool. Yeah. Yeah. And then, of course, I had to do it. I had to go and take I'm ready to take a look at the most.

Yeah, because that's talked about feature of this entire arena. The toilets. OK, toilets.

So I took a trip inside and toilets because he was he was he was touting this when they were making it. Look at that. Now, you know, there's so many and they're wide.

You have you have privacy. There's a shelf up there. You actually saw the whole tour.

It's amazing. Bathroom. That's a nice bathroom. You might see your boy right there.

There's your boy in the mirror. My buddy Riley I was with. And yeah. And so here's what I counted in that one bathroom. Thirty urinals. Whoa. Plus six toilets. So right there, that's thirty six.

And I saw at least six of those just in the area that I saw. So so let me tell you something. You will not be waiting in line.

That was Palmer's idea, right? That he wanted people to spend less time waiting in line. And that's why you don't have to wait in lines for concessions. You walk in facial recognition, have your I guess your app or whatever your app. You have your credit card linked into it. You go and get stuff come out. Yeah. They were cleaning up the bathrooms right there. And I had to take a video, of course.

Looks nice, guys. Now, I'm only disappointed I didn't use one. I didn't hit me. That's all right. I'm sure they're functional.

I don't think we need to take it for a spin. Well, I want to use it up is what I'm saying, you know. But yeah, it was OK. They're into it. Incredible, Rich. It's it's just an amazing facility.

What he built. It's amazing. The only thing I can say, I cannot wait for basketball season to start so I can be disappointed. Come on now. Come on now. You've got a great coach. You got, you know.

Yeah. I mean, look, this corporate team on paper, it's not going to win a championship. But they've got players and they're going to be you know, they're going to compete for sure. So I just think it's a 21st century arena and built by one of the wealthiest owners in all of professional sports anywhere on planet Earth. Footed the bill and a lot of amenities.

OK, very good. You know, so, yeah. When he when when he first started, you know, with his hard hat, they started building the place and he started touting what they're going to have. And he screamed out toilets that we're going to have a bunch of toilets.

And we used it as a drop. I never thought you would actually take us on a video tour of the bathroom. You've met me. What would make you think I wouldn't take you on a tour of the toilet? The art of the possible.

The Rich Eisen shows about you never know where we'll take you and what journey will all go on collectively together. So. Yeah. And thank you, CJ. You could charge your phone at your chair.

It has a little plug up. I mean, that's incredible. It's that's great. Well, that's great, too. Fantastic. That's big.

All right. Our number three, Jerry Dulek of the Pittsburgh Post Gazette and what's going on with the Steelers and the Giants as well. We'll talk on that.

Our three coming up. And Rich, unlike me on a lot of flights, there's extra leg room. I don't have to worry about anybody reclining back into me. You know, is that right? Seriously, there's a lot of leg room in the in the seating. You know, I'm six.

I had a solid probably like seven inches between my knees. So even Boban might be accommodated. So, OK, who would you go with? Who was there? Those my buddy Riley, Matt Riley. He works for Jimmy Miller's group, Mosaic. Yeah, we've been going to he's a famous manager, famous manager and going together for like I said, since the year 2000. We met in the elevator when it was Gold Miller and I was working at a talent agency and I got in the elevator. He said, I heard you like the Clippers. And I was like, yeah, he said, me too. And we've been friends ever since. So and now here you are into a dome, buddies. Yeah, man. OK. And the greatest part about this guy's 16 minutes door to door from my crib to get into it. From the back of the airport, all the way into the game.

I can't wait for the excuses, though. I don't go to games. I always go. You guys know this.

I go to a lot of clubs. I know. I know. I go see back. Sixteen minutes.

No more driving downtown. Come on. OK. Get someone like Mike Del Tufa to give me some tickets. Well, I bought in. I bought in there, you know, Del Tufa. Were you into a dome? You did. Yeah. But I have six games. I just did six games myself. It's barely you. You barely put the W in the wall.

Our three coming up. Former Navy SEAL Sean Ryan shares real stories from real people from all walks of life on The Sean Ryan Show. Tucker Carlson. What is it that you think that people gravitate? I'm not self-aware. I refuse to be self-aware.

I don't even like mirrors at all, which you can probably tell from my appearance. I don't have a crazy high IQ or I really don't have that many skills. I would say my main skill is I believe my instincts. I don't hesitate to follow my instincts ever. The extent that I have, I've gotten in trouble. The Sean Ryan Show on YouTube or wherever you listen.
